Does Dynon emulate GPSS?

[skysailor]

I know the True Trac autopilot will follow a mulitleg flight plan on a Garmin X96. Will the Dynon do the same thing assuming there is an active route and NAV is selected? The TT does not anticipate turns but in reality does a pretty good job. Certainly well within parameters for VFR. I plan to use the Dynon autopilot in two planes but wanted to verify it would track a multileg flight plan with no interferance prom the pilot.

Yes the Dynon will follow a multileg flight plan.  It will overfly the waypoint unless it is connected to a GPS that outputs GPSS over Arinc429.

Turn anticipation is a function of the GPS not the AP.

"unless it is connected to a GPS that outputs GPSS over Arinc429."


........or you have the Apollo GX series (software later than 3.2, I think) which gives GPSS without ARINC.

Yes the GX does this but Dynon does not support it (when in GPSS mode).....the wording I chose above was carefully selected just because of the GX which is a weirdo...

Don't you just love the industry "standard" : It would be great IF it happened, but not in our lifetime I guess.
